2. Given that the size of the record is very important when stored in

mentioned.
I specifically did not want to limit the record to any particular type.
I just wanted it to support RFC OpenPGP compliant keys. Some people
don't want to use ECC (for legal other other reasons). Others don't
want to use ElGamal, DSA, RSA, etc. There is no reason for this draft
to distinguish and force people to pick a specific key type.
I agree that support for all keys is one way to do this, but this intention
is unclear from the draft-wouters-dane-openpgp-00.txt: if one mentions RFC
4880 but not RFC 6637, it can be interpreted as the exclusion of ECC keys.
I was simply not aware of RFC 6637. I will add a reference to it in the
document. Thanks!
